There are headphones, and then there are headphones. If you’re serious about your music, then don’t cheat yourself with anything less than the Klipsch Image x10i in-ear headphones. (And you can win a free limited-edition pair! See below.)
We were lucky enough to get our hands on the Klipsch ESPYs 2010 Limited Edition X10i's (one of only 500). These are the same headphones that the athletes and entertainers will receive in their gift bags at the ESPY awards in Los Angeles on July 14th. We may not be awesome athletes, but we do know our audio gear, and these headphones don’t disappoint.
The first thing you notice when inserting the patented elliptical eartips is how lightweight these headphones are at .37 ounces. They can be worn comfortably for hours on end. The earbuds drown out most ambient noise as well, making a trip on the bus much more tolerable.
The sound is impeccable, crisp and clean. The bass is particularly spectacular. These earphones sound better than my car stereo. Hell, the sound is on par with my home theater system. I was really blown away by the punch these little guys pack.
Even better, the X10i is compatible with the iPhone and includes an advanced 360-degree mic and 3 button remote.
The X10i's are like the luxury cars of headphones, so they are an investment. They will set you back about $350, but it's well worth the money if your are serious about comfort and audio quality.
The good news is that you don’t have to be a super athlete, or empty your wallet, to get your very own pair of the ESPY limited edition earbuds.
Klipsch and Explicit Events and Marketing are giving away 5 pairs of the Klipsch ESPYs 2010 Limited Edition x10i headphones in the Step Off the Sidelines Product Giveaway. All you have to do is submit a clever photo of yourself using any Klipsch product. Not bad, eh? To see how you can win a pair, check out their website here. Good luck!
